Seattle — August 1999 — X10.com (www.x10.com/pressroom12.htm) has developed a way to bring the *three million tracks downloaded every day from the Internet to any stereo or entertainment system in the home with the MP3 Anywhere Kit.

According to Infobeads research, more than 67 million PC’s are equipped and ready to download music from the Internet. Also according to Infobeads, "MP3" now beats out "sex" as the most popular search term on the web. The MP3 Anywhere is the perfect solution to extend MP3’s phenomenal growth and popularity to any stereo system in the home.

Imagine pumping your FREE custom CD collection or play list downloaded from the net to a state-of-the-art stereo or entertainment system.

The MP3 Anywhere sends the audio from the Internet to any system in the home using 2.4-gigahertz wireless signals. A simple two-step process is all it takes. Step one: plug the transmitter into the back of the PC. Step two: plug the receiver into the back of a favorite stereo or entertainment system. Now anyone can experience the literally tens of thousands of MP3 tracks on any system up to 100 feet away from their PC.

The wireless MouseREMOTE™, included in the kit, controls the MP3 tracks from anywhere in the home and also acts as a universal remote for operating a VCR, satellite, cable, etc. The entire system takes only minutes to setup and can be programmed to operate other X10 products such as ActiveHome.

"MP3 and X10.com are a perfect match because both technologies are predicated on an open format that’s giving people what they really want in terms of music and the hardware to carry that music to anywhere in the home," said Alex Peder, president X10 (USA) retail sales division. " The MP3 Anywhere is an easy and affordable way to extend the reach of your PC to enjoy your favorite music on a stereo system with more power and better sound quality."
